    <title language="deu">Einführung von Lean Management in IT-Organisationen</title>
    <abstract language="deu">In der Produktion gilt „Lean Management“ als einer der de-facto Standardmanagementansätze. Lean Management in IT-Organisationen (Lean IT) ist dahingegen in der Praxis weniger verbreitet und in der Wissenschaft kaum erforscht. Dieser Beitrag aggregiert und erweitert die Ergebnisse mehrerer Forschungsarbeiten. Dabei werden vorrangig zwei Aspekte diskutiert: (1) Ein mögliches Einführungsmodell für Lean IT. Dieses verknüpft fünf Rollen (Sponsor, Programmleiter, Navigator, Linienführungskraft und Linienexperte) mit vier Phasen (Vorbereitung, Analyse, Gestaltung und Implementierung). (2) Besondere Herausforderungen für Linienführungskräfte, die aufgrund der „bottom up“-Ausrichtung bei Lean-IT-Einführungen stark gefordert werden. Neben einer klaren Vision für die Organisationseinheit und dem Verständnis, an welcher Stelle Lean IT die Organisationseinheit konkret unterstützen kann, benötigen sie Offenheit, Veränderungswillen und die Bereitschaft Verantwortung an Mitarbeiter zu delegieren. Außerdem sollten sie über ein ausreichendes Zeitbudget für die Einführung verfügen, um ihrer gestaltenden und qualitätssichernden Funktion nachkommen zu können.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Information systems offshoring</title>
    <abstract language="eng">An increasing amount of IS offshoring research has been published during the last four years. This paper presents a comprehensive view of the field of study from a managerial point of view. It provides a consolidated view of the field of study between 2010 and 2013 based on a manual search comprising 69 selected journals and 9 conferences, as well as a search using 6 journal databases. The literature review ensures continuity of research by connecting to a comprehensive literature analysis covering the  years 1999 to 2009. This way it  consolidates and critically reflects the state of the research of the  last 14 years. Overall, we compiled 95 relevant publications originating from leading IS journals and IS conference proceedings. The results indicate that IS offshoring research is largely non-theory  based, using almost entirely empirical data and interpretive research methods and -to a smaller extent -positivist research designs. The ISO research of the last 14 years focuses on the implementation stages "how" and "outcome" while the pre-implementation-stages “why”, “what”, and “which” are comparatively sparsely researched. Future studies  should apply a more theory-driven approach with a greater attention  on  pre-implementation aspects of information systems offshoring. In addition, future research should investigate the special nature of near- and onshoring, captive offshoring as well asagile (project) management techniques suitable for ISO.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Information Systems Backsourcing</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Information  systems  backsourcing describes  the transferof  previously  outsourced  activities,  assets,  or  personnel back to the originating companyto  regain  ownership  and  control.  While  there  is much  research on  information  systems outsourcing,  the topic  of  backsourcing information  systemsis  still  an  emerging  research  area. Therefore,  ourpaper aims to explore and synthesizethe existing literature  on information  systemsbacksourcing,  since  there  is  no  exhaustiveliteraturereview  of  the  state  of  the  research to  our  knowledge available yet. In  this  paper,  wecreate a  framework  to  structure  the existing  research  along  the overallbacksourcing  process.  We identifydifferent  motivators, such  asexpectation  gaps, orinternal  and  external  organizational  changes, leading  towards  a  backsourcing  decision,  and  factors  positively  or  negatively influencing  this  decision.  Additionally,  we  derive  implementation  success  factors based  on  the  existing  literature to  guide companies  through  the  backsourcing  process.We  also  differentiate  the  term  backsourcing  from  related,  sometimes synonymously  used  terms,  by  emphasizing  the  change  of  ownership  back  to  the  company  of  originas the main  criterion.Additionally, we discuss opportunities for future research in the field of information systems backsourcing.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Change management lessons learned for Lean IT implementations</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Lean Management is a standard production mode that has been familiar to production organizations for several decades. To  date,  however,  academic  literature  has  presented  surprisingly  little  information  about  the  application  of  Lean Management  in  Information  Technology  (IT)  organizations,  or  what  is  called Lean  IT.  Drawing  upon  an  empirical qualitative  case  study  of  the  IT  departments  of  two  multinational  companies,  in  this  paper  we  identify  change management  lessons  learned  for  Lean  IT  implementations,  as  well  as  seven  characteristics  of  a  corresponding  change management  approach.  As  an  extension  of  our  work,  researchers  should  validate  and  expand  our  initial  findings, preferably in a quantitative setting.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Determinants of success in IS offshoring projects</title>
    <abstract language="eng">High labor cost in western countries allows cost savings by companies engaging in IS offshoring. However, studies worldwide indicate that a large number of companies that engaged in IS offshoring are not satisfied with the outcome. Our study examined the determinants of IS offshore project success: We developed a model and empirically tested it with data collected from 304 experts who reported on projects offshored from Germany to a wide range of near and distant countries. The model posited a direct effect of offshoring expertise and trust in offshore service provider (OSP) on success, as well as an indirect effect mediated by project suitability, knowledge transfer, and liaison quality. An analysis using partial least squares (PLSs) provided significant support for almost all these relationships. However, it showed that offshoring expertise played a minor role in explaining success and the mediating constructs. Trust in OSP had a small direct effect on success and a medium to large effect on the mediating constructs. Project suitability, knowledge transfer, and liaison quality all had small direct effects on success.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">The current state of IS offshoring in Germany</title>
    <abstract language="eng">This paper empirically examines the current state of the IS offshoring phenomenon in Germany regarding project characteristics and success patterns. Relying on a sample of 304 projects conducted at various industry sectors and companies, results show that IS offshoring primarily occurs in sectors Telecommunications and IT at large corporations. Cost reduction is the main reason for going offshore and offshore projects are executed as part of a larger program at companies. Noticeably, most projects are delivered from India. Additionally, neither captive offshoring nor offshore outsourcing dominates as a de-livery option. Comparing different project subgroups regarding project success, the results reveal that projects delivered by an internal or partially owned service provider are more successful. Other project characteristics such as a project’s embedded-ness in a larger offshoring program, a project’s size, or a project’s offshoring degree in terms of relatively offshored labor hours show few significant differences. The paper addresses the paucity of empirical research on the current state of the IS offshoring phenomenon in Germany.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Evaluation criteria for selecting offshoring candidates</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The  identification  of  suitable  applications  or  projects  is  a  main  initial  step  in  any  software  development  or maintenance  related  IS  offshoring  arrangement.  This  paper  examines  evaluation  criteria  and  their  importance  for  selecting application  or  project  candidates  for  offshoring.  Based  on  a  literature  analysis  and  interviews  with  47  experts  from  36 different German companies describing 64 case examples, we find that in contrast to the literature, “size”, “codification”, and “language”  are  perceived  as  important  selection  criteria  by  experts.  Case  examples  additionally  show  that  “business specificity”  seems  to  be  a  main  reason  for  application  or  project  failures,  that  “business  criticality”  appears  to  be  less important  than  suggested  by  the  literature,  and  that  adequate “size” might be a necessary prerequisite, but seems not to be a sufficient criterion for an application’s or project’s suitability for offshoring. These differences in comparison to findings from the literature may be explained by cultural and language differences.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Do researchers investigate what practitioners deem relevant?</title>
    <abstract language="eng">There is a common understanding amongst academics that information systems (IS) research sometimes has limited relevance for practitioners. This can be explained by the fact that research lags behind the fast moving IS environment, has limited practical applicability and is hard to access. We have focused on the research area of IS backsourcing, and analyzed practitioner literature to increase our understanding of topics of interest for practitioners, to determine a potential gap between academic and practitioner literature, and to identify future research directions in this field. We observed that most publications are either news or background articles, focusing on describing backsourcing cases. Additionally, we identified four recurring themes, namely reasons for backsourcing, presentation of survey results, discussion of industry trends, and backsourcing success stories. The main reasons identified to trigger backsourcing decisions are cost savings, quality improvements, and increasing control and flexibility. By comparing our findings with academic literature on IS backsourcing, we conclude that generally both literature types cover similar topics. However, researchers have a more formulative or interpretive focus than the often descriptive practitioner literature. Academic literature also examines a broader range of topics, while practitioner literature has a narrower focus. Additionally, we observe one difference regarding applied terminology: while researchers employ the term backsourcing, practitioners mostly use back in-house or insourcing. Our paper contributes to facilitating the exchange between academics and practitioners, presents topics to consider when aiming to increase practical relevance and provides researchers with concrete directions for future research within the field of IS backsourcing.</abstract>

    <title language="deu">IT-Backsourcing</title>
    <abstract language="eng">The importance of information systems (IS) for companies has grown rapidly over the recent years. For example, companies from various industries are focusing their efforts to digitize business models, to adopt agile forms of collaboration, and to leverage automation of routine tasks. This forces companies to review their IS sourcing strategies and to potentially consider alternatives for current outsourcing contracts.&#13;
&#13;
One potential option could be to backsource IS services currently performed by external vendors. Based on empirical observations, previous academics defined it as the repatriation of all assets, activities, and skills needed to perform IS services back in-house, which had been outsourced previously to one or multiple vendors. The distinctive characteristic of backsourcing is the change in ownership back to the mother organization. This distinguishes the term backsourcing from similar terms, e.g., backshoring, reshoring, or relocating, which rather focus on the change in location of the service delivery. At the initial sourcing decision, the strategy to outsource an IS service was considered most promising. However, certain developments both inside the company, but also on a broader industry level may lead to a re-evaluation of the situation and thus to an adjustment of the original sourcing strategy.&#13;
&#13;
Over the last years, there has been a strong increase in cloud-based services and a shift towards the deployment of standardized, almost “industrialized” applications as services. Before, large companies leveraged their size in realizing economies of scale within their sourcing volumes. The raise of cloud computing as well as standardization of service delivery decreased those benefits and led towards a decline in large outsourcing contracts across a variety of services and a growth of multi-sourcing of individual IS services from the respective “best-in-breed” vendors for shorter time periods. Besides sourcing the best vendor for each service, companies that implement multi-sourcing strategies additionally aim for cost benefits due to an increased competition between vendors, and an increase in agility and adaptability.&#13;
&#13;
At the same time, a move towards multi-sourcing strategies with shorter contract durations leads to an increase in so-called “second generation sourcing decisions”, namely whether to continue outsourcing a respective service or to bring the service back in-house. Given the developments within the IS environment, this research projects aims at understanding why IS services are backsourced and which factors influence a company’s decision to backsource an IS service.</abstract>

    <title language="eng">Causing factors, outcomes, and governance of Shadow IT and business-managed IT</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Shadow IT and Business-managed IT describe the autonomous deployment/procurement or management of Information Technology (IT) instances, i.e., software, hardware, or IT services, by business entities. For Shadow IT, this happens covertly, i.e., without alignment with the IT organization; for Business-managed IT this happens overtly, i.e., in alignment with the IT organization or in a split responsibility model. We conduct a systematic literature review and structure the identified research themes in a framework of causing factors, outcomes, and governance. As causing factors, we identify enablers, motivators, and missing barriers. Outcomes can be benefits as well as risks/shortcomings of Shadow IT and Business-managed IT. Concerning governance, we distinguish two subcategories: general governance for Shadow IT and Business-managed IT and instance governance for overt Business-managed IT. Thus, a specific set of governance approaches exists for Business-managed IT that cannot be applied to Shadow IT due to its covert nature. Hence, we extend the existing conceptual understanding and allocate research themes to Shadow IT, Business-managed IT, or both concepts and particularly distinguish the governance of the two concepts. Besides, we find that governance themes have been the primary research focus since 2016, whereas older publications (until 2015) focused on causing factors.</abstract>
